Do we really need to epxlain to people that a Slingshot is a car? you don't need a motorcycle endorsement to drive one. . . . case and point. Back to picking my nose, now.
Get a bumper sticker that says "Not A Real Biker! REEEEEEEEEE!" 😂 I love the trailer! Then you get to take the bike, the golf cart, the scooter, liquor, food.... so much savings and convenience. You do you Brother!
bahahha, I was the official 1000 person to like the video, Haven't been to Daytona Bike week as a full grown adult with my own bike. Maybe 85th anniversary week (2025).
I live about an hour from Daytona. I have no desire to be surrounded by the craziness, but I love motorcycles and riding. Here's an option: Meet up with your buddies, and go for a ride. There are several decent places to ride not far from Daytona. If you want ideas, let me know. I know dozens of good roads in the area.
Agree 100% with you about Slingshots. Also, really discouraged about the intimidation of law enforcement at key venues. Their presence says DONT STOP HERE OR WELL GET YOU. It sucks!!!
Just like Sturgis, they bring in extra cops from other much smaller towns. These cops don't see much action and this is a time for them to live out their enforcement wet dreams. Your larger city or town cops don't act like this so much.
Aaaaaaaamennnnnn on the DB Factor at Daytona! Amen the Daytona Bike Week Cops need to take a chill pill. (I’m a retired cop) It makes me upset cuz it’s the first big rally of the year. I’d love to go south and ride. But there also aren’t a ton of places to ride to. I’ll just save my money and go to Sturgis. Also the dominant down there is nowhere near as nice as Sturgis.
Agree about the doucebag factor and the Slingshot hate but I'll throw in a CanAm slant, I was trying to think up a derogatory name for the 3 wheeler and was stumped, then while sitting on the ledge outside Froggy's quite a few years ago with a old racing buddy of mine that has been coming to Daytona for the 'Races' since 1956, as a CanAm went by he said "Dare goes one of dem 'Zero Turns"! I laffed PERFECT! Remember on the CanAm's, in many states you don't need a M/C endorsement to ride them, just have to view a Safety DVD before riding. (and lets not even go into the 'Trikes'... TrikeWeek anyone?) Oh and another thing out by the Cabbage Patch/Cackleberry that would probably not be a 'Daytona' cop but our County Sheriff's.
Daytona cop issue is because of the news hound chief. Does crap for self promotion. If you ride to daytona one year...you have seen it all. Every year is the same vendors,bands,etc. The only changes are strippers slinging drinks. No point in going there
I love Daytona. I ride down by myself, I buy bike stuff, walk around, people watch, go to bike shows and ride around the swamps/forests. You are right about the douchebags…. Hotel prices suck because I am not a camper.
@@michaeladdison4461 ... Welp you can thank our 'Freedom' loving Gub'ner for that, he signed via 'Executive Order' the loud stereo ticket law. Loud pipes has already been on the books just like in all the other states and our Intersection/Parking lot burnout takeover law went through Tallahassee several years ago and got passed so... if you promote/video/post to social media without proper press credentials you can be charged.
@frankspinski161 I am in freedom loving calforina. Everything here is illegal . The only difference is by the mass of numbers there just really no law enforcement. Within 10 miles of me there over 15 million people and probably only 200,000 cops in a 30 mile range.
Daytona used be the shiznet back in 95 & 2000. Went in 08 never again. Even Sturgis not what it used to be. Still love doing the fall ride in Tennessee mountains.
The douche bag factor extends throughout Florida in Jan, Feb, Mar, not just in Daytona. About a million people filter through each city per month in winter and not many of them are bikers (except bike week of course). They all think it's about them in their own little magic kingdom on vacation, non of them realize regular people actually live there year around. Daytona can't hold a candle to Strugis as far as real bikers. College spring breakers and real bikers don't really mix well so I understand why the cops are the way they are. A city full of assholes for months at a time and mix in wanna be bikers to the mix in Feb, not necessarly fun for the locals.
I roll may may through Main street.. I am not a fan of that part of bike week. I prefer all the broken spoke, beaver bar and Cacklebury / cabbage patch.
I will be coming Wednesday and staying Cacklebery Campground this be my second time maybe I will meet you and let you try some North Georgia moonshine lol
I work with Jesus. You want me to ask him to helps those viewers? I know he'll say there's no helping them though. One day I picked Jesus up and he said let me drive . I moved over a Jesus literally took the wheel 🤣🤣. Don't count on him to heal your injuries or sickness though he stopped doing that for some reason idk. 😁. Good vid
Yup go to Daytona to see friends. I agree on the slingshots...o my lord....and yup Daytona brings the crazies lots of times. Been going since 1976. I have seen some awesome things and some WTF things. Seems to be getting worse on the snowflake front. On the cop front there are tons of cops brought in, like Sturgis, but unlike Sturgis they seem to have a big chip on their shoulder.
Not one mention of the Daytona 200 or Supercross which is also ironically where all the actual REAL bikers are at. I guess these guys are too caught up in the high school drama calling out everyone who doesn't look just like them. OH MY GOD, that guy is driving a slingshot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I grew up in Volusia County. And no the cops do not want the bikers there. They make it their mission to make sure you have the worst time, So you will not come back. And this has been their stand since the 80s. I don't think it's going to change. Most locals avoided bike week just because they know they are just going to get harassed.
Thunder on the beach. It may not be Daytona. But it's pretty fun. In the cops there kind to leave you alone. We've been going for a 10 years. Ever had a problem
Thing about Daytona is people talking ish about not being a real biker. These people forget some people not wear ing colors someplaces lol. Lotta people Need attitude adjustments. I hate when rubs say that. Your plan of attack is nice!!
I love going to Daytona. I like the vendors and I like to people watch. More than anything just riding. Main Street is fun but I hit it during the day before the crazy happens. Not a fan of the goons that think rolling around hitting the rev limiters is cool and yes the slingshots suck.
Being in Gainesville we used to go every year but your right the weekend warriors who believe just because they own a bike they know how to ride , they get drunk get out in the road act billy badass and cause a scene . The cops your right again , won't go into that but yup . So now I just stay away not worth it ,
LOL it's been since 98 that i have been out in SD but back then Sturgis had a douche factor too, Sadly some years Laconia can have the Cop issue , and others you barely notice them, last years 100th barely saw any
Daytona use to be bad ass 20 years ago or so. Went down hill.. too many sport bikes banging off rev limiters at 10k.. don't mind sport bikes if they are being respectful.. too many trashed 18yo thinking they are evel knievel or some shit
Spot on about the sling shots man! A menace here in Texas too. And the pizza cutter DB factor is getting bad here too. Spot on video man. Keep doin what you do.
Same damn thing happened to me going to the cabbage patch it was 4 years ago colder than hell and my goggles fogged up and i pulled them up to wipe the fog out and john law gave me hell over it
When i was the Warranty Manager and shop Foreman at Low Country HD in South Carolina, we used to ship guys to (then) Bruce Rossmeyer's Destination Daytona for bike week, and they in turn would send people to out Myrtle Beach Stores for out Rallies, and i got sent to Daytona a couple of times to work long rally hours but our night life was fun, but i will say i preferred the fall Daytona to the spring, but like for you Sturgis is your Favorite, and for me it's Laconia, in many way Laconia is a smaller version of Sturgis, because New Hampshire and Maine have beautiful Mountains and lakes like Sturgis, and then an hour away from Laconia HQ in the NH/Maine Beaches some of the most beautiful in the world, and to me Laconia being the 1st, it's also the last of the OLD Biker Rallies, My 2nd favorite is Myrtle Beach, it's a bit disorganized and the town of MB has tried to kill it for years, but again it's to me a bikers Rally..........Daytona and Sturgis to me are more the Celebrity Rallies, the big stars and world travelers go to those 2 rallies, where Laconia and Myrtle beach are smaller and even though we have riders from all over the world, it's still a lot more regional in the NH and SC Rallies and there are more people on BIKES and less in Campers, not that there is anything wrong with campers, the New Hampshire Speedway Campground is quickly becoming like the Sturgis campgrounds. But No matter Hope you and your wife have a Great time in Daytona, and a safe week, and maybe one day before i DIE lol i'll Talk y'all into trying LACONIA !!
The local LE in Sturgis are awesome, they go out of their way to keep you out of their jail. Daytona LE has a huge nationwide reputation which isn’t bad it’s that they are HORRIBLE
the lot at the end i love to use that's at almost at the turn around spot on main st across from the gas station show that happens. Rather not park on main st because of what I've seen the couple of past times i've been drop their bikes trying to get on to leave OR the cops think they have a stolen bike end up nearly dropping one onto other bikes and beat and bang on the other bikes next to the one they are looking at. Took a live last year where they nearly dropped a bike onto one that was next to the bike they were concerned about and one officer actually nearly knocked down another bike when they went to pull and drag that bike off of main street. yeah kinda hard to call something that has a steering wheel a bike just saying. Well hope to run into you and Mrs. Monkey at the rally at some point which I'm sure I will even if its by accident like at Sturgis last year. See ya at the rally be safe and see ya soon.
Nice to see Tall. Slingshot is a car like the Morgan is a car, except the Morgan has class. Main Street will be blackened from all the footdraggers. Enjoy.
I think the douchebag factor is affected by so many northeasterners coming down. I’d love to do Daytona but can only afford to do one, so Sturgis is gonna be it
That K of D sign behind you is kinda freaking me out. Anyway, I think Daytona has more of a fun factor if you’re from the cold and frozen north. As far as the cops, I think they walk a line of being too strict vs just keep people safe because Daytona residents are hammered all year long with Speed Weeks, Daytona 500 massive crowds, Bike Week, Black Bike Week, a months worth of Spring break crowds, Jeep Beach, July NASCAR race, tourists all year long, Biketoberfest, Turkey Rod Run at the Speedway and then events for the Holidays. Sturgis is a sleepy little town that has one event and I think the residents actually enjoy the revenue and put up with the crowds.
They need to talk to government in Myrtle beach and ask them how many millions of dollars they lost screwing with the Harley bike week and trying to shut it down
Damn, it'd be cool to see the D.A.M. Show...since i turn 65 that day! But, impossible. I'll have to hope for decent weather and to be able to pedal my highrider that day. Should have my grandsons that day too, WOO-HOO!
If you get a chance to go to Saint Augustine before you cross the lions bridge, going into town on the left-hand side is a restaurant that has the best shrimp, best vegetables and homemade pies cash only fifth generation it is called. O’steen’s. They have other things to pick from two but I’ve been going there for 27 years. I love their shrimp.
Don’t forget the FRIED BOLOGNA sandwich at Iron Horse. Also, there is a ride in bagger show on Friday near Bethune Cookman from 3-6 that should be interesting as well.
I mate great video. I love Florida I've been a few time while serving in the Royal navy. Came along side in Jacksonville. But what do you mean be don't wear your colours?
POPO (Port Orange POlice) do like to hammer the hell out of anyone going over the limit thru that school zone on Williamson DR between the I-95 interchange and Airport Road to get 0ver by Cackleberry. But they're like that year-round, not just Bike Week.
We have 2 Harley's with sidecars and two without. Most people on two wheels couldn't ride a bike with a sidecar and do it well. It's a learned skill. And, when we go to rallies, we can fit a whole week worth of groceries for three couples in the sidecar. And yes, it is a motorcycle!! Two Ultra Classics. Keep up the good work Professional Monkey!!
Do we really need to epxlain to people that a Slingshot is a car? you don't need a motorcycle endorsement to drive one. . . . case and point. Back to picking my nose, now.
I agree with you. Sling shots are cars not motorcycles.
If it has anything more than two wheels, it is not a motorcycle. How is that so hard for them?
@@stanleymasterson1135 what is a trike 🤔
The company does not consider it a motorcycle its ,
they are classified as an “autocycle.”
It the only bike that doesn't get a ticket for exhaust.
@RanGer-498 They might not see it as a car. But we do. Front windshield, Has a steering wheel and Seat belts. Has a Chevrolet motor in it. It's a car.
Get a bumper sticker that says "Not A Real Biker! REEEEEEEEEE!" 😂 I love the trailer! Then you get to take the bike, the golf cart, the scooter, liquor, food.... so much savings and convenience. You do you Brother!

I'm looking to make a big purchase while I'm down there. Do you know any good Slingshot dealers?
Yeah there’s one at the corner of blow me st and your mom ave… 😂
OMG 100% with you Slingshots and Trex's are NOT Motorcycles and should be Banned from the Rallies where it is Motorcycles Only !!

I’ve watched Cycle Drag’s videos of it and there’s nothing appealing about it for me. Certainly not at the hotel prices. Giant pass for me.

have never been someday maybe but I have heard about the goggle or sunglass deal WTF I don’t get that at all good god really
I love Daytona. I ride down by myself, I buy bike stuff, walk around, people watch, go to bike shows and ride around the swamps/forests. You are right about the douchebags…. Hotel prices suck because I am not a camper.
It great if you have a stock bike if not then plan on spending $3000 in ticket for your exhaust getting 2 or 3 tickets a day.

Use to ride down to Daytona every year but when hotels hit 350-400+ per night we quit going. Just not worth it
@@calypsonotch3953 don't forget camp site aren't no cheaper at 350 a night. They seem to be trying to turn it into a Ducati/police only bike week.
Love Amsoil Adam follow him also good dude meet him last year At Laconia
Daytona used be the shiznet back in 95 & 2000. Went in 08 never again. Even Sturgis not what it used to be. Still love doing the fall ride in Tennessee mountains.
For me bike week is about seeing the new bikes and the supercross races
I can’t stand people rolling up in my lane beside me, if I don’t know them. At least, now I know that I am not alone.
Sturgis is filled with locals and police which welcome you to spend your cash.
Daytona locals treat you as if you crashed their party.

I remember going down to Daytona for spring break in 1990-91 & yes the cops were idiots back then. I guess nothing changes with that mentality.
All you've mentioned is why I never go to Daytona Beach.
I was riding out with a guy who got pulled over for having his visor open a crack to let out fog. They trip out about eyewear
Slingshots are over sized snowmobiles.
I love going to Daytona. I like the vendors and I like to people watch. More than anything just riding. Main Street is fun but I hit it during the day before the crazy happens. Not a fan of the goons that think rolling around hitting the rev limiters is cool and yes the slingshots suck.

Daytona is all about the racing, the weather usually sucks, the riding is not a joke, posers everywhere. Locals hate the rally.
Did Biketoberfest and I’m done with it.
Daytona is the best biker show in the nation. Always full of Billy Big Rigger bikers.
I went in 01. I'll never go back. Kinda like a 3 wheel now looks like. Slingshots suck.
I live here, it does suck. Unless you like filthy bars and people in their 50’s acting like children.
hey now read the ferengi rules of acquistion 1 to 400. and thats not only american way. its the worlds way.
That's why I don't go.
Leesburg bike fest is much better.
Agreed, much better!
LOL it's been since 98 that i have been out in SD but back then Sturgis had a douche factor too, Sadly some years Laconia can have the Cop issue , and others you barely notice them, last years 100th barely saw any
“Fur and lights” 😂😂
It’s shocking what those dudes do to those Slingshots.
No doubt. You should have a week-long block party and call it Monkeytona.
Daytona use to be bad ass 20 years ago or so. Went down hill.. too many sport bikes banging off rev limiters at 10k.. don't mind sport bikes if they are being respectful.. too many trashed 18yo thinking they are evel knievel or some shit
I would imagine more than 20 years ago since 2004 was the height of that American chopper fat tire bullshit.
@@ProfessionalMonkey lol.. yeah maybe 30 or so.. 😢 damn man.. way to make someone feel old..late 80s early 90s
Don't sleep on Gator Harley. Chris from Cycle Solutions was there the last two years.

Wild Hogs cut..... I haven't stopped laughing.

Why I decided to stay home because, just because.
I'll be towing my Harley down behind my slingshot 🤣😂
Big Shout out to my Guy Lone Wolf McQuaade!!!
Hopefully you don’t meet him next week!!! He’ll be in front of Cacklebery being all “John Q” on everyone.
Exactly my thoughts on the sling shots!! They are NOT motorcycles and do NOT need to think they are- they are SO stupid!
AZ Bike Week is not much better. Smaller area, but at least the cops were not that aggressive.

The local LE in Sturgis are awesome, they go out of their way to keep you out of their jail. Daytona LE has a huge nationwide reputation which isn’t bad it’s that they are HORRIBLE
Exactly. I talk to Sturgis cops every year, they’re typically hilarious.
Daytona doesn’t suck. Main Street sucks and all the drunks suck but the races are great. The bike shows are really cool too.
That is true. The Spoke is beautiful.
Heather took a picture of me at the broken spoke for the amateur bike build off and put me in cycle source magazine.
Galveston is becoming my favorite rally lately
It's a' CAR!!!
Ya'll be safe and ride safe. The weather does not look "bike week friendly."
Lmao the slingshots and their 87 loud speakers and strobe lights😂And they’re never playing a song you like😅😅
I'd probably like the songs if I knew Spanish lol
the lot at the end i love to use that's at almost at the turn around spot on main st across from the gas station show that happens. Rather not park on main st because of what I've seen the couple of past times i've been drop their bikes trying to get on to leave OR the cops think they have a stolen bike end up nearly dropping one onto other bikes and beat and bang on the other bikes next to the one they are looking at.

And I hope I get the chance to run into you would love to meet you in person😀👍🏻

👉🏻 NOT 👈🏻 A MOTORCYCLE!

Not a real biker, brrb-brrb-brrb-brrb!!! 😄🤣
Renegades on the river is nice ride out good food beer and atmosphere.
If you haven't tried Myrtle Beach bike week it's a great time. Been there for the past 24 years and I love it.
Damn man there are enough people at Myrtle done be invited any more ! Lol
2:57 don't tell me how to live my life 😂
Have you ever been to the "bikefest" at Lake of the Ozarks?!?!?
Not yet. I’d like to but have never been able to make it fit.
We have 2 Harley's with sidecars and two without. Most people on two wheels couldn't ride a bike with a sidecar and do it well. It's a learned skill. And, when we go to rallies, we can fit a whole week worth of groceries for three couples in the sidecar. And yes, it is a motorcycle!! Two Ultra Classics. Keep up the good work Professional Monkey!!
Love sidecars. I remember the first time I saw an Ural. Takes skill to handle those though corners for sure. Ride safe!
20:00 - I won't be there BUT does the "No colors" general rule apply to 'soft colors' too (ballcaps, t-shirts, etc.)?
Are you going to show the UPS bike (brown sugar)
I don’t think so. I’ll be riding it a lot but it doesn’t stack up to a lot of the bikes at the shows.
See you Friday Bro. We will have a couple of liveations together. I will be getting in on the 1st as well.
